Connected Hardware

Check the devices that are physically connected. This determines which experiment modes are available.

CO₂ Mass Flow Controller (SFC2) connected

Air Mass Flow Controller (SFC1) connected — enables adjustable CO₂ %

N₂ Solenoid Valve Controller connected — enables N₂-purge regeneration

Mode availability based on connected hardware:

CO₂ SFC	Air SFC	N₂ Valve	Available Modes
✓	✓	✓	Single (adjustable %) · Cycle (all strategies) · Sequence
✓	✓	✗	Single (adjustable %) · Cycle (air-only regen, ~pH 8.5 limit) · Sequence
✓	✗	✓	Single (fixed CO₂ flow) · Cycle (N₂-only regen) · Sequence
✓	✗	✗	Single (fixed CO₂ flow) only

Default Experiment Parameters

Total Flow (sccm) CO₂ Fraction (0–1) Stabilization (s)

Default Regeneration

These defaults are used by auto-regenerate between sequence steps and for new multi-cycle steps.

Strategy

Air Purge Flow (sccm) Air Purge Target pH Air Purge Max Duration (s)

N₂ Purge Duration (s) Ready pH min Max regen retries

Experiment Presets

Presets are saved/loaded from the Experiment tab. Use "Save preset" to create one from current values, then select it from the dropdown. Presets are stored with your preferences and included in YAML export.
